The Incom Corporation's T-44 K-Wing fighter was developed as a multi-role deep space, orbital and high atmospheric fighter. Commissioned by the Jedi Order, the intent was to make it as easy as possible to fly (using highly vectorable thrusters and multiple control surfaces - both inertial and aerodynamic, managed by a direct bio-limbic interface) to allow the Jedi pilots to focus their full Force powers on weapons targeting and the wider tactical direction of large fighter squadrons.

So easy and reliable it was to fly, it was decided to test it initially on Podludix Zaa, the Jedi Order's most incompetent pilot. Master Yoda himself said, "Very simple to pilot, this fighter is. Pilot it, anyone can if Pokludix Zaa can. Yes, hhmmmmm".

When Pokludix was finally recovered from the mangled wreckage of the prototype K-Wing (in the fateful few seconds after takeoff when he lost control, he forgot to hit the eject button), he had suffered only minor injuries. Fortunately his remarkably unexpressive face and inscrutable fixed smile remained unscarred and his successful Corellian Poker career continued unabated.

The Short Range K-11 Fighter was designed for close range planetary and space battles. Its small design and heavy arsenal of eight lightning phase torpedoes allowed it to sneak in tight spaces but cause major destruction. Armed with five phasers and a short range pulse cannon, this was a popular ship for the rebel alliance. Not displayed in is the ship in its closed wing span. In non-attack mode, the ship was often confused as the T-20 fighter.
